TUESDAY EVENING, MAY II.

POPULAR ERRoRs.--Archbishop Corrigan
made his canonical visitation to the Church
of the Sacred Heart, New York, Sunday
morning. Low mass was celebrated, at the
conclusion of which the Archbishop spoke
on the popular errors, which, he said, were
widely prevalent at the present time. The
first of these was the idea that private own
ership of land was unjust. This idea the
Archbishop characterized as fallacy
against both philosophy and common sense,
and as against the teachings OF the Catnoiic
Church. Those who claimed that iand, ilKe
sunshine and air, was the tree gilt OF Gou
and equally the property OF all oVerlooSeu
the great difference that sun and air cannot
become private property as can land. he
declared that every maa had night TO ac'
ouire. by honest means. as much property
as he could, and cited the Indians as an ex'
ample of the disastrous results of the free
land policy. He also said that the idea was
in direct opposition to a decree of the Pope,
and that those who favored it knew that
thew were infringing on the ordinance oil
God. The second error which the Arch
bishop wished to combat was that the Pope
had the right to command and be o5eyed
only in matters of faith aud morals, and
when speaking as infallible, but not in mat
terra of discipline. This idea bad been de
creed false by the Vatican ConneiI, who had
ordered that if any one should say that the
Pope had right to command in matters of
faith and morals but not in discipline, let
him be anathems." The Pope, however,
does not interfere in matters of politics un:
less the government iuterferes in matters OF
conscience, and ne has warned all bishops
and archbishops that they must be obedlent
to the government under which they are.

The GAZETTE ia now the oldest paper ir

been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofita existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror

cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while in the

The GAZETTE has better facilities for ob.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns In the
evening what has transpired that day 10
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habtable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
peIs.
Another feature that serves 10 make tho
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes a full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of thestAte, is pub
lished regularly. and all events of nteres!
occurring within the bounds of the Com.
monwealth are to be found In the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The CAVITIES circulation is steadily 10
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit lis advertising columns before purchas.

The Democratic papers have at last
found sufficient breath to attempt to
treat the Rebel flag matter as "a piece
of folly something that could not
in any event amount to very much.
It is the same spirit which has ever
delighted in sneering at everything
suggesting the sufferings Of the Union
Soldiers. At the first intimation that
Cleveland was arrested in his devilish
scheme, the Copperhead papers of the
North were speechless. 1t was fondly
hoped that the cherished rags would
be safely back in the hot-beds of trea-
son before there could be much fuss
made about it. When that scheme
faded out, the Democratic party was
good deal like the old darky in the
story, who was caught by the owner
of a hem house, one stormy night,
with half dozen fine chickens in his
hands. Assuming an air Of innocence,
he said. I wuz afeard desc yer chick
ems O. yourn I'D be struck by litenen,
un thought I'd jis take 'em in de
housef' Cleveland wanted to steal
the trophies from the North and send
them back to the South, where they
would be more tenderly cared for.

The fruits of ''boOms" are bepin-

The fruits Of ''booms' are begin
ming to loom up and ripen in different
parts of the country Booming" is
a species of gambling, though robbed
Of some of the disreputable features Of
the old-fashioned, shuffie-and-steal po-
ker game. Like all schemes Of risk,
the ''boom" generally depends for sue
cess largely upon the gullibility Of the
party who is asked to invest money.
Your boomer is a shrewd one, if he
succeeds. If he is not shrewd he has
no business trying to make money on
blooms" Being shrewd, you never
catch him investing a second time in
property he has once handled-unless
he is compelled to do so. He stirs
things up at a lively rate, offers big
prices for real estate, bluffs the owner,
gets accomplices to buy of him and
sell back at fabulous prices-but nei-
ther dollar nor corner lot changes
hands. After the wind bubble ex-
plodes, there is a small-sized panic in
the community and property takes
tremendous tumble. These objections
are not applicable to square specula-
tion. A rapid and healthy growth is
always desirable, but not that inflated
nothingness which lifts a community
up for day, then lets it fall all the
harder.

We are pleased to see the old SOL
diers taking hold of the County Re-
union matter. The indications now
are that this will be one Of the grand
est events in the County's history.
The interest is already widespread, and
will rapidly increase. Each Post and
Camp in the County ought to send at
once to T. A. Jones, Secretary of the
Committee of Arrangements, the name
Of one member of the Advisory Com
mittee. This will complete the organ
ization, and the work will go on rap
idly. The aim of this Reunion is, pri-
marily, to bring together all the old
soldiers in Jackson County. and to
give an earnest effort toward securing
the entire success and enjoyment of
the Reunions Of the Regimental Or
CARNATIONS meeting at the same time.
We have learned already Of deep in
terest among the soldiers of the ad-
joining counties, and the attendance
will be large.

The Commercial Gazette thinks the
Ohio Democracy in kind of bad way
over the condition of things at Wash
ington. It is true that the Democrats
are grieved and feel weak and wounded,
sick and sore, but you may have no.
ticed, friend Commercial, that Dem
ocrat's sickness or grief never inter
feres with his voting. Ordinarily he
may take much the same view of life
as other people. But when he comes
down to the election-and he always
comes-he does just two things, first
asks for Democratic ticket, next
votes it. Democracy is constant, it is
frm-when it comes to voting. We
may enjoy the discontinue Of the
Democrats, but at the same time we
may confidently expect to find them
all at the polls.

The Nail Mill bows have been max

The Nail Mill boys have been MAX
ing a lively canvass during the past
ten days, and have sold quite num-
Der of lots. 1t is time now that, if
our people want the mill, they should
buy up the remaining lots and start
the building Of the mill. There are
plenty of men hereabout who could
easily spare the money, and make the
mill success. The fact should be
remembered that the greater the de-
lay in completing the sales, the worse
for that class of enterprises hereafter.
Anything that is permitted to drag
in the start, and finish up with spas
modic jerk and frantic appeal in the
end, starts under distressing circum-
stances at best. A strong, steady pull,
all together, is the manner of success.
While on this subject we will men
ton the fact that the boys-or some
Of them-complain that they have
not received proper newspaper en-
couragement in the matter. We have
distinct recollection Of rendering
some Of them all the space they de-
sired to make the scheme plain to our
people. But for some reason none
seemed anxious to attempt it. We
have noticed these Mail Mill enter
prises for the last few years, and could
speak at some length of their advan-
tages. But we prefer to let the Jack
son Mill speak for itself, leaving the
matter of its completion to the public
spirit of our citizens. We will add
that these lots ought to have been
sold within ten days from the time of
starting the scheme.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-06-23

It is not that any political party
plants itself upon a popular idea in
order to secure a popular name, but
the fact stands, bold, glaring, indis-
putable, that unless the people of this
country make way with the internal
liquor traffic, it will make way with
them, to an alarming degree. We
might cry out against the party claim
ing to represent the true idea of tenn
perance reform-but we could not cry
down the idea itself, nor make it un-
popular. The temperance sentiment
in this country is becoming stronger,
all the time. The evils Of the traffic
are by no means becoming less terri
BILE. The sea of crime still flows on.
The people look upon it, read about
it, and think Of it. And the looking,
and reading, and thinking, only make
stronger the sentiment, and render
